From the jury
Inorganic Resonators are directional acoustic speakers made from Icelandic materials. They combine unique craftsmanship and design that maximizes the nuances of sound. The speakers are extraordinary examples of the integration of Icelandic ingenuity, technology, and material to create a quality product. The designers, who are also musicians, possess knowledge and understanding of their clients, which is noticeable in the speakers’ modern appearance, texture, and function. The outlines of sound waves inspire their shape, and the material is flexible to the movement of sound in different environments. The manufacturing process is tailored to each inquiry, and each item is handmade. Inorganic Resonators are made in collaboration with Inorganic Audio, an Icelandic audio tech company that specializes in software for musicians.
